✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Barrio de la Estacion in Haro, Bodegas Muga has been a benchmark of Rioja tradition since 1932. With Flor de Muga Rosado, the family reimagines Rioja rose through an ultra-elegant lens. Crafted from 100% Garnacha sourced from ancient, head-trained vines nestled in the high-altitude, clay-limestone slopes of the Alto Najerilla district, this wine benefits from a cool climate that preserves vibrant acidity. The winemaking process is highly selective, utilizing only the self-run 'lagrima' (teardrop) juice obtained without mechanical pressing. Fermented in small wooden vats and aged on its fine lees for several months, this pale-pink cuvee offers a sophisticated texture, delicate floral aromas, and a complex mineral backbone that pays homage to the rugged beauty of Rioja Alta.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga and Aurora Caño, Bodegas Muga is one of the most revered and historic family-run wineries in Spain, situated in the legendary Barrio de la Estación in Haro within the Rioja Alta subregion. The bodega remains steadfastly dedicated to traditional winemaking methods, being one of the few producers to maintain its own in-house master cooperage, crafting all fermentation vats and aging casks from fine oak, alongside practicing natural clarification through egg-white fining. Muga's portfolio harmoniously bridges classic elegance and modern expression, celebrated worldwide for iconic, long-aged cuvées such as Prado Enea Gran Reserva, Seleccion Especial, and the contemporary powerhouse Torre Muga, in addition to acclaimed Conde de Haro sparkling wines and expressive Rioja whites and rosados.
